Physical Education

Our schools ensures that each class is taught 5 different PE strand each year, namely Athletics, Dance, Gymnastics, Games and Outdoor and Adventure. Our school policy states that 1^st and 4^th classes attend a block of swimming lessons each year in Term 2, covering the Aquatics strand of the P.E. curriculum.

We have a standardised P.E. timetable which means that each teacher promotes the teaching of a particular strand at the same time. See our timetable attached here.

All students are provided with one hour timetabled P.E. per week, as a minimum. We are lucky to have some periods of the year whereby we have GAA coaches, Tag rugby coaches or a dance teacher come in to work with some of our classes.  See some images of these activities in action here.

Our school has a shed to hold our P.E. equipment. 5^th class students and the Active School Committee are responsible for keeping it neat and tidy.

Each school year we focus on the teaching of a particular strand.
